PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE.

Fiber

Narrow beam type fiber mounting

Connection with reflective coaxial type fiber

Take care that, since the aperture angle of this product is very narrow, the beam may not be received depending upon the setting. At the time of installation, determine a reference plane, as shown in the figure below, and taking sufficient care against beam misalignment or tilt, install the emitting and receiving fibers so that they are parallel.

<FT-K8>

<FT-KV8 / FT-WKV8>

With reflective coaxial type fiber, insert the center fiber cable (single-core) into the beam-emitting inlet and the outer fiber cable (multi-core) into the beam-receiving inlet.

FD-H35-M2or FD-H20-M1is marked ‘P’ on the beam- emitting fiber cable and ‘D’ on the beam-receiving fiber cable.

FD-WG4,FD-WSG4 and FD-G4,FD-G6,FD-G6X are composed of beam-emitting and beam-receiving fiber cables that are different in diameter.

FD-G500,FD-EG1,FD-EG2,FD-EG3,FD-E22,FD-H20-21 and FD-ENM1S1 are marked P on the beam-emitting fiber cable.

Thru-beam type wide beam fiber mounting

Take care that, since the aperture angle of this product is very narrow, the beam may not be received depending upon the setting.

At the time of installation, determine a reference plane, as shown in the figure below, and taking sufficient care against beam misalignment or tilt, install the beam- emitting and receiving fibers so that they are parallel.

Install the fiber using M3

countersunk head screws. The tightening torque should be 0.3 N m or less.

Further, when using the fiber at places having intense vibrations, use a screw- locking adhesive, etc.

If mineral oil or solvent containing mineral oil component adheres to the sensing surface, the lens may be deformed. Take sufficient care to handle them.

Method of fixing fiber cable

If fixing the fiber cable in position, make sure that it is set in a manner as shown below, so that no load is applied on the fiber. (Excluding FT-H35-M2, FT-H35-M2S6, FD-H35-M2and FD-H35-M2S6)

Notes: 1) In case the fiber cables are not inserted to a position where they stop, the sensing range reduces.

2)Before connecting fiber cables to the amplifier, mount the fiber attachments on their ends.

Fiber cable bending radius

If the fiber cable is bent at a smaller bending radius than allowable bending radius, the sensing range decreases due to beam attenuation.

For a allowable bending radius of 25 mm (0.984 in)

Note: Please note that the 350 °C 662 °F heat-resistant fibers, vacuum- resistant and chemical-resistant fibers cannot bend less than the allowable bending radius.

How to bend sleeve

The bending radius must be R10 mm R0.394 in or more. Please bend gradually using the fiber bender (FB-1) or a round bar of "20 mm "0.787 in or more.

Note: Do not bend the sleeve of side-view type, narrow beam type, narrow- view type and ultra-small diameter type fiber.

Use of heat-resistant type fiber

Use by keeping 150 mm 5.906 in, or more, of the heat- resistant fiber cable part at normal temperature.

Protect the amplifier from heat radiation or hot air.

With the 350  C 662 °F heat-resistant type fiber, the surface of the fiber head or the spiral may be discolored by heat. However, this does not affect its performance.
